They prefer any moist, well-drained soil, but avoid particularly wet or waterlogged conditions.
Often caused by shallow planting; ensure bulbs are planted at the recommended 15cm depth to receive sufficient winter cold.
The soil may be too wet; ensure the site has good drainage and is not located in a low-lying area that collects water.
Plant these bulbs in late summer or autumn to ensure they establish before the ground freezes. Select a site with moist, well-drained soil, avoiding areas prone to waterlogging. Dig holes to a depth of 15cm (6 inches) and space the bulbs 13cm (5 inches) apart. Proper depth is critical to providing the necessary winter cold period required for spring blooms. After the flowers fade, remove the deadheads but leave the foliage intact until it turns yellow and dies back completely in summer, as this stores energy for the following year. Always wear gloves during the planting process due to the bulb's irritant nature.
